Yes I realize the difference in mining lol, been at this for over 3 years

But what caught my eye was the fact it WAS CPU, we don't need more GPU coins, and will hinder the growth of SIA and the storage availability feature, which is the goal.

Sorry my friend Sia never had any goals to be a CPU-only coin. Sia will probably have ASICs sooner than later, we've already got verilog implementations of the mining algorithm.

Far more people would get involved if a CPU based coin only. And the testnet wallet was working just fine? I don't understand why you would disable CPU mining Huh

If you want, you can enable CPU mining by using 'siac', a command line tool provided in the release. You're highly unlikely to find any blocks though.

GPUs, even slow ones, are 10x - 50x as fast as the fastest CPUs, even overclocked i7s
